bbolt-rs

bbolt-rs is an implementation of the etcd-io/bbolt database in Rust. It successfully reads and commits, but it has some limitations.

The current version matches Bolt v1.3.8.

I'm rather pleased with my work as I believe the public API I've created has substantially fewer footguns than the Go code has.

• The database can't be dropped until all sessions are dropped.
• No resources from the transaction can escape the transaction.
• You can't deadlock the database by opening up a RW transaction and then opening up a R transaction right afterwards.

It also is interesting that, despite the increased memory usage, this code is about 40% faster in a synthetic large transaction than the equivalent Go code. Further benchmarking is postponed until the database is fully feature complete and we can have a proper duel (in progress!).

Lastly, I must express my eternal gratitude to the bbolt developers who have created such a simple and easy to understand project to learn from.

Features:

• Arena memory allocation per transaction
• Explicitly designed to prevent transaction dependant resources from escaping the transaction.
• RwLock based transactions
• File backed database
• Memory backed database
• Miri tested to prevent memory errors in unsafe blocks
• Simple and straightforward public APIs

Currently not supported:

• Tx.copy
• Compact
• Most of the main application
• A variety of DB Options including
  • no freelist sync
  • file open timeout
• Panic handling during bench
